## Resource

We can all picture someone. A friend who once meant a lot. The person you could call anytime, the one you’d lose track of time with. Maybe they’re still in your life. Or maybe they’re not. And if they aren’t… does that automatically mean something went wrong? Friendships aren’t fixed, they shift and change, just like we do. How long does it actually take to become friends? So where does this seven-year idea come from? So what happens after seven years? But should we take these numbers literally? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
